Lust auf eine Prise #Religionswissenschaft statt #Trump?

Auch in diesem Jahr war " Das letzte #Einhorn " wieder ein beliebter #Weihnachtsfilm. Und das ist auch kein Zufall, denn das #Fabeltier wurzelt in der #Bibel, genauer im Buch #Hiob. Hier wurde das "Rem" an einer #Krippe in #Europa ratlos als #Nashorn gedeutet & als griech. #Monoceros & lat. #Unicornus wegen der Krippe mit #Jesus als weißem #Lamm symbolisch verschmolzen. Die faszinierende Geschichte hier: (1/2) https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/von-nashoernern-einhoernern-ein-detail/

📸 The Rosette Nebula from DECam
A cosmic bloom in Monoceros. This glowing nebula spans 100 light-years and cradles young stars in its heart. Captured in vivid detail by DECam in Chile.

I found out today - or was reminded today, I'm not entirely sure as I've downloaded resources from the IAU on the subject of #starnames in the past year and then neglected to review them carefully - that in 2015, a star in #Monoceros - HD 45652 - was named "Lusitânia", in connection with their Name ExoWorlds programme. The one known planet orbiting it is "Viriato".
I love that this astronomical naming process is picking up speed in my lifetime!
